Gov. Ted Kulongoski on Tuesday reaffirmed his refusal to cut Corrections Department spending by closing three state prisons, including two in Salem. "Public safety is a priority, and I am not willing to close three prisons and release nearly 800 inmates," he said. "Accordingly, I have directed the Oregon Department of Corrections to not proceed with plans to close any prisons and release inmates." Kulongoski plans to ask the Legislative Emergency Board to allocate $15.3 million to keep the three prisons open for the rest of the 2009-11 budget cycle, which ends June 30, 2011. Read More. |
